ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

         On November 1, 2001, Westport Resources Corporation, a Nevada
corporation (the "Company"), issued a press release announcing that it will

telephone conference on Wednesday, November 7th at 10 a.m. (EST) to discuss
financial and operational results for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The
press release inadvertently made reference to the incorrect Conference ID number
